The idea is that rather than using copper interconnects, which have limited reach and often require the use of costly retimers, Ayar's TeraPHY photonic chiplets can be co-packaged alongside compute dies, enabling more than 200 Tbps of aggregate bandwidth for chip-to-chip communications. If Ayar and GUC can deliver on this design point, that'd make XPUs based on the tech more than 10 times faster than the fastest interconnects today, which top out at 14.4 Tbps.

In the high tech universe, there is only a single common road that Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD), Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM), Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) and many others must go to get their chips made, no matter where they hail from. That road inevitably leads to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd. (NYSE: TSM), the largest semiconductor foundry on the planet.

According to the post-mortem, which provides details on the DynamoDB DNS management architecture, the incident was triggered by a latent defect in the service's automated DNS management system, leading to endpoint resolution failures for DynamoDB. Other popular services that rely on DynamoDB, including new EC2 instance launches, Lambda invocations, and Fargate task launches, were also impacted during the outage. In the summary of the Amazon DynamoDB service disruption in the US-EAST-1 region, the team acknowledges that the reliability issue significantly affected many customers.

The messaging app, which is due to file its first quarterly results, since going public, on Wednesday, has also dialed back on its trademark ephemerality with a new service that lets users share a Snap for an infinite time. Dubbed Limitless Snaps, the tool will let Snapchatters share images with their select friends without restricting the amount of time the recipient can keep the image open. Images will still disappear after they've been viewed, but the Snap automatically close after a set number of seconds.

"My mom taught me English, and she doesn't speak English," Huang said. "And that kind of tells you all." Huang was born in Taiwan, and his family moved to Thailand before he and his older brother were sent to the US when he was nine for a better education.

Until now, searching for someone on LinkedIn required precision, a full name, company, specific job title, skill, or filter combination. If any detail was off, the results weren't always helpful. Many users also struggled to find the right people when they didn't know the exact title or keywords to type. LinkedIn is making it easier to search for people with AI https://t.co/BAH7xXNfMf - The Verge (@verge) November 13, 2025

Synopsys said it would eliminate approximately 10% of its global workforce as the chip design software company integrates its $35 billion acquisition of engineering simulation firm Ansys. This move could affect up to 2,800 employees. The Sunnyvale, California-based company disclosed the restructuring plan in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing on November 12, stating that the cuts would enable it to "invest in key growth opportunities and drive business efficiencies" following the Ansys deal, which closed in July.

Bitfarms, one of North America's largest Bitcoin miners, announced it will gradually wind down its mining operations over the next two years. The company plans to shift its focus to high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure. The move reflects a broader trend among crypto miners. Falling Bitcoin prices and shrinking profit margins are pushing operators to explore more stable revenue streams.

Mandatory verification for developers even outside the official Play Store was first announced this August, and would require developers to provide their legal name, address, email, and phone number, and in some cases even upload government ID. It drew criticism from groups like the Keep Android Open campaign and the open source app repository F-Droid, which argued the move "ends the ability for individuals to choose what software they run on the devices they own."

MX Linux 25 "Infinity" is now available, and the new version has some significant differences from the 2023 release, with things that used to be boot-time choices now more loaded pre-install decisions. Infinity is available in no fewer than seven different downloads. They are all for x86-64: there's no x86-32 edition any more. MX 25 is based on Debian 13, and since the parent distro no longer offers a 32-bit x86 edition, nor does MX Linux.

Visual Studio 2026, the latest version of Microsoft's signature IDE, is now generally available. Touted as an "AI-native intelligent development environment," the IDE also features faster startup and improved user experience. Announced November 11, the update can be downloaded from the Visual Studio homepage. Visual Studio 2026 uses AI intelligence for such things as complex debugging, performance profiling, and application modernization, Microsoft said.

People working at the front and back offices of banks are going to have wildly different experiences with AI, says Sopnendu Mohanty, the group CEO of the global advisory and investment firm GFTN. He told Business Insider that the disruption posed by AI will depend on whether one works in a bank's front, middle, or back office. "Front is all for the customer. The middle is all for the bank, and the back is just for processing all the activity," Mohanty said.

AI remains one of Intel's highest strategic priorities, and we are focused on executing our technology and product road map across emerging AI workloads, the company said in the statement.

A Tesla Diner location could be coming to Palo Alto, as suggested in a recent post on X from Elon Musk. The world's richest person who is poised to become the world's first trillionaire posted on Oct. 31 that, The futuristic Tesla Diner is going well. Probably makes sense to open one near our Giga Texas HQ in Austin and engineering HQ in Palo Alto.

And the stakes were high; if he didn't get that control, he threatened to leave. Shareholders simply could not, did not want to imagine Tesla without Elon. All of that money, power, and control increases for Musk if Tesla reaches milestones based on operations, adjusted profit, and market capitalization. Every tranche, if the goal is reached, will deliver 35.3 million shares to Musk. For instance, the first tranche milestone is a market capitalization of $2 trillion.
